Control of arm movements in a 2-dimensional pointing task.
The present study analyses in humans the control principles of sequential, unpracticed pointing movements in a 2-dimensional space. Our data reveal that variable pointing errors add up within such sequences. This finding supports the hypothesis that movement amplitude rather than position is the controlled variable of the investigated movements.
